Town & River Carriage Ride – 30 Minutes

A carriage ride taking you over the Bow River and past the Indian Trading Post (home of the Merman!) onto one of Banff’s prestigious residential streets. We follow the Bow River and loop back to downtown crossing the Bow River again before we return to downtown Banff.

Custom Carriage Rides

Customized carriage transfers are available to chauffeur you around the town site and are a popular wedding option. Pick-ups from hotels, restaurants or private residences can be arranged during daylight hours any day of the year.
